Bumping this thread because it's cool and just wondering how rare, and desirable, is the autograph of Max "Lefty" Weissman. He was never a player, but was a trainer for the Cleveland Indians from 1921 until he died in 1949 at the age of 53.
Steiner has an autographed ball listed for over 4K on their site and over 2K on Ebay. Here is an interesting link about Weissman: http://tcf.danwismar.com/cleveland-i...-to-veeck.html

I thought that I might update my post regarding the John Carden autograph on my 1948 scorecard. I am happy to report that it has been certified by PSA and I just received it back today with all autographs passing authentication.
When I sent it in, I requested that all players be listed on the LOA and they failed to do that (Carden is listed on the LOA). However, they did list all players on their site when you do a cert verification. Also, it appears that PSA has changed the look of their letters - see attached. Bobby Avila must have been excited as this was the year prior to his first Major League game so he signed it twice!

Today I received in the mail probably one of the greatest eBay finds i have ever had. I obtained 3 of the toughest players from 1940's for less than $300 total in 3 auctions where I am sure seller had no idea what he had, as their names were not even mentioned in the description.
Al Montgomery played 42 games for the 1941 Boston Braves and tragically died on April 26, 1942, at only age 21. Montgomery was killed in a car crash while heading north from spring training Bob Katz - 1944 Reds - for a guy who played 12 seasons in the minors, he is incredibly tough to find. His 1962 death went unnoticed for years, and evidently his whereabouts after leaving baseball were unknown. On the day of his death, his house burned down, and all the baseball memorabilia in the home was lost. Connie Creeden - Creeden one of the toughest autographs of all major leaguers that had their debut in the 1940's. Creeden played briefly for the 1943 Boston Braves. It is alleged he was accused of child molesting while playing in the minors and then disappeared and was believed to have changed his name.
